So, it's another new week, and Leah's had a lots to do! First off, I have to comment on her new photos. The middle one below (with her and Jim) is notable, only because she's wearing one of her hallmark 'boy' outfits! It's a pair of blue pj's with a robot that says "HugBot 2000" - and it's adorable! Except, she really does look like a cute ass boy in them. I guess she's bound to be a little gender confused...
Also, her new nanny started this Tuesday, Auntie Loris. She's a fun Jamaican woman, who is just terrific with her - and clearly knows more about infants than Jim and I. She has had some great suggestions (especially for her sleep schedule) that will hopefully bring some sanity to us all soon. She practically cleaned our whole house, did the dishes, laundry, and was such a relief to all of us!
So, on Friday Leah will be going for her 3 month pediatrician appointment. Surely we'll have lots of updates, and hopefully her vaccines won't ruin what is going to be a beautiful weekend. I'm really really really hoping it makes it into the 80's...
On a weird note, we just opened the windows up today - because it's 72 degrees out - and I can hear the birds calling outside through the baby monitor. I guess I didn't realize how loud the birds are here...

My Review of Tike Tech Trax360 Pacific Blue Single Swivel Stroller
With its relaxed smooth geometry and front swivel wheel the Tike TechTrax360 is a radically responsive stroller. The ultra light oval shaped aluminum frame makes for a snappy ride. With a generous interior, fully padded lowride seat with 5 point harness and removable, adjustable seat grab bar, this...
Excellent value!

Pros: Smooth Ride, Durable, Easy To Maneuver, Adjustable
Cons: Bulky, Poor/No Cupholders, Few Features
Best Uses: Toddlers, Infants
Describe Yourself: First Time Parent
I haven't run with this stroller yet, but it is working great! We've used it for the past 2 months and it has great shocks, and rolls smooth. I imagine running will be quite similar and pleasant.
Pros: I can roll across our very bumpy/hilly lawn with ease; rolls very smooth; easy to steer with swivel front wheel; color stands out making me feel safer on streets without sidewalks; Cons: the straps are hard to undo and figure out; it folds up pretty big, and I need to take wheels off to fit it in my car - but not unlike most jogger strollers; lots of things sold separately - cup holder; the bottom is really hard, so we will definately be getting the insert soon; wish they included or sold a tire pump - it took a while to find a pump that fit the tires and you do need one; customer service is very unresponsive - our front handlebar was broken on delivery and we really have had to chase them down to get a replacement (which we still don't have). Worth the money, and is a great stroller for the price - especially compared to more expensive brands.
